Umaasa ang Pilipinas, na nasa ilalim ng isa sa pinakamahabang lockdown sa mundo sa gitna ng pandemya, sa bakunang panlaban sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Hindi pa nakarating sa baybayin ng bansa ang bakuna nagsimula nang kumalat ang kung ano-ano nang maling impormasyon tungkol dito.
Matapos ang ilang buwang pinabilis na mga clinical trial, maraming mga coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine ang malapit na ngayong ilabas sa merkado, at may iilan na maaari nang gamitin ng publiko.
The Philippines, functioning under one of the world’s longest lockdowns amid the pandemic, is pinning its hopes on a vaccine to fight coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The vaccine has not reached its shores but a wave of misinformation about it has started to spread.
After months of expedited clinical trials, several coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are now nearing market distribution, and a few are already out for public use.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not conclude a cause-effect relationship between the vaccine and Bell’s Palsy, and the four people shown in the photos did not take part in the trial.
A Facebook (FB) post by a local netizen claiming that the COVID-19 vaccine of pharmaceutical companies Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE had caused the deaths of six people during the trial phase is misleading.
Facebook (FB) page Lynn Channel, which has published coronavirus-related disinformation in the past, has again spread wrong and misleading information about vaccines for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
A Nov. 30 post by India-based Facebook (FB) page Mr Scientific circulating among Filipinos claimed the vaccine candidate of biotechnology company Moderna, Inc. was found to be “100% effective against COVID-19.”
In dismissing Vice President Leni Robredo’s suggestion to make a detailed list of recipients for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque contradicted the Department of Health (DOH) when he said there was “already one in existence.”
President Rodrigo Duterte reminded global leaders in his first-ever appearance at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that access for both poor and rich countries to a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine must be considered a “matter of public policy” and crucial in the global recovery from the pandemic.
